Hyderabad – Scholars and followers of Qadri sect has opposed Pakistan’s Dawat-e-Islami conference in Hyderabad city, they threatened severe infighting if conference is ever granted permission.
Barelvi Sunni group, Dawat-e-Islami runs under Moulana Ilyas Attari of Pakistan, and he is infamous for radicalizing youth in the garb of Ishq-e-Rasool – love towards the Prophet.
“Seventy percent Muslims of Hyderabad aren’t satisfied with Moulana Ilyas Attari and Dawat-e-Islami, his speeches are purely targeted at splitting the Muslim community,” said Moulana Ali Qadri, representative of Quadri order of Hyderabad.
Malik Mumtaz, a police officer of Pakistan, who assassinated Pakistan’s politician Salman Taiseer in 2011, was influenced by the Barelvi radicalization. He was hanged by Pakistan Government on February 29 2016.
